[0022]FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a control circuit of the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-3, an energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a human body sensor 1, a light emitting diode member 2, a light sensor 3, a lamp face plate 7, a control circuit 8 (see FIG. 4), a time regulating switch 11, a lamp housing 4, and a bulb copper head 5.

[0024] The human body sensor 1 is used to detect existence of the human body. The human body sensor 1 may be a focus electrical type infrared sensor, an infrared LED reflective type sensor, a supersonic wave sensor or the like, for adjustment of output of the circuit signal.

[0025] The light emitting diode member 2 is an excellent illumination member, with the features of environmental protection, safety, long lifetime, and energy saving.

[0026] The light sensor 3 may be used to detect the strength of illuminance of the light. The light sensor 3 may be an photo sensitive resistor, a light receiving diode, a light receiving transistor or the like, for adjustment of output signal switch of the circuit.

[0027] The control circuit 8 may be used to adjust the output voltage, current and time of the lamp according to the values of the signal.

[0028] The time regulating switch 11 may be an adjustable switch, a variable resistor, or a variable capacitor, for manually adjusting the time of successive operation of the lamp.

[0029] The bulb copper head 5 is a bulb copper head the same as the conventional illumination filament type bulb.

[0030] Thus, the above-mentioned members may construct the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] The lamp face plate 7 is mounted on the lamp housing 4, and the human body sensor 1 and multiple light emitting diode members 2 are placed in the lamp face plate 7. The light sensor 3 is mounted on one side of the lamp face plate 7. Then, the control circuit 8 having the time regulating switch 11 is placed in the lamp housing 4. The electric power terminal of the lamp housing 4 is the bulb copper head 5. In addition, the bulb copper head 5 may be mounted on the socket of the conventional illumination filament type bulb.

[0032] In the present invention, the human body sensor 1 may adopt two infrared sensors including the focus electrical type infrared sensor and the infrared LED reflective type sensor. The supersonic wave sensor may also be used, but the infrared LED reflective type sensor and the supersonic wave sensor have to mate with each other for use, wherein one is used for the emitting function and the other is used for the receiving function, so that the reflection effect may control the signal when the human body approaches.

[0033] Accordingly, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages.

[0034] When no one passes the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp at the dark night, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp is disposed at a slightly bright state, wherein the illuminance is half of the total illuminance. When someone passes the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp at the dark night, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp is disposed at a fully bright state. After the person passes the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp at the dark night, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp will be automatically turned into a slightly bright state during about a few minutes, wherein the illuminance is half of the total illuminance. In addition, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp will distinguish automatically at the day time. Further, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp of the present invention employs the white light LED to function as the light emitting members, so that the current may be adjusted arbitrarily, so as to control the brightness.

[0035] In such a manner, the human body sensor 1 may be used to detect existence of the human body. Thus, the LED lamp is disposed at a low illuminance state normally, and may be converted into a high illuminance state when the human body approaches. In addition, the light sensor 3 may be used to detect the environmental illuminance. Thus, when the environmental illuminance is insufficient, the light source is fully opened or half opened, and when the environmental illuminance is sufficient, the light source is closed. In such a manner, the LED lamp may be operated by a high power with a large current during a short time, so that the LED lamp consumes less electricity, has a long lifetime, and saves energy highly.

[0036] Thus, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp of the present invention is available for serving as the illumination light source of the road lamp, the passageway lamp, the ladder lamp, the garden lamp, the lamp of the parking site or the like, thereby saving energy and cost of the electrical power. In addition, the energy saving type of light emitting diode lamp of the present invention may efficiently satisfy the requirements of environmental protection, safety, long lifetime, and energy saving.

[0037] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
